FIRST QUICK LOOK AT EMBER.JS

Wow, new year already and I decided that I really need to post some more blog entries. I realized this morning that I did not post a single blog entry in the year of 2011. So I was working on a project and thought this would be a great time to check out Ember.js. I am a big fan of Yehuda Katz so I wanted to give ember a try. Ember is formally amber.js for a few days but more formally sproutcore 2.

COMING SOON TO A BROWSER NEAR YOU!

Brandon and I have been working on a new web based application for Realtors over the past year or so. We are focusing our efforts on making it the simplest Realtor application around, so we decided to name her "Picnic".

JQUERY AUTOCOMPLETE AND MONGOID

When I updated our site to rails 3 I was using the standard rails autocomplete with prototype. Since I wanted to switch to jquery I did a google serach and I found this gem for rails 3 and jquery rails3-jquery-autocomplete but the syntax is different since I am using mongoid. So I modified it to work with mongoid changing the sql syntax to a mongo search syntax. Not sure if there is a big enough need to turn this into a gem and put it up on rubygems but you can find my fork on github if your ... Read more
